As a defensive end, Tershawn Wharton\u2019s job isn\u2019t to pull off game-winning catches. That said, Sunday\u2019s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Carolina Panthers saw Wharton make the most important catch of all. That said, this moment actually took place just after the game. The result? Another win for the Chiefs. Needless to say, fans went wild in the stands, and the players took time to say \u201chello\u201d to a few of them.<\/p>\n
While looking around at the crowd, a little boy stood out to Wharton. It was at this moment that the football star decided to make this kid\u2019s day: By giving him his very own gloves. With the kid high up in the stands, Wharton needed to reach up high so he could grab them. Unfortunately, this Chiefs fan\u2019s eagerness caused him to trip, and he took quite a fall in an area without a guardrail. Watch Wharton\u2019s heroic reflexes take over in the video below.<\/p>\n
